THE BLUE eaoTTo OF NAPLES.


Some Unfortunate Explorers Who Vent
ured There Rashly-
A terrified English matron insisted upon
relating to me her all but fatal experience in
the grotto, but having started from Naples
with the hope of seeing the cerulean tint
represented in the art magazines at Naples. /
would not be discouraged The sensation Of
lying fat in the boat TO avoid complete i'm
mersion while being carried into the opening
at the base of the lofty bluff is not most
enviable one, and confess our moments OF
delight were not enhanced by our jealous
Capriote who, seemingly to while away the
tediun until a wave came to carry Us In,
with the most sanctimonious Of expressions,
related how many hundreds had been de-
tanned in the grotto for venturing therein
when the sea was rough.
A French painter had been imprisoned in
the grotto four days and lived only on a
bottle of rum he had fortunately carried In
his pocket We were minus rum but fun OF
enthusiasm. We waited breathlessly for the
moment to be launched into the grotto. With
both hands against the mouth OF the rock the
Capriote boatman watched his opportunity,
and with a tremendous wave we were carried
into the spacious grotto, which is So meters in
length, 81 in width and Is in height above
the level of the sea, the depth of water being
about II meters. The effect Is dazzling.
Every object it contained was bathed in an
exquisite blue tint, and all under the water
seemed silvered.
The water has a surprising effect on the
human body, and for franc our boatmau
dipped into it, and on appearing his body
was as white as silver, his face as black as a
Negroes. About the middle, the right,
there is a small passage with WORKOUT steps,
now built up at the top, which is said to have
been a secret communication with the town
of Capri at the time of Tiberius. According
to Valery this suppostion is correct, but the
Prussian painter who discovered the cave was
led to seek it by reading of a staircase by
which Barbarossa used to descend into sub
| terranean retreat from the town of Anacapri
on the hill As the tourist is indebted to the
Prussian painter for this unsurpassed glimpse
of loneliness, he is entitled to the benefit OF
the doubt-Cor. Baltimore American.

Lee and the Wounded Federal.

The story was originally told by "Grand

The Antiers of Elk and Deer.

Every hunter among the mountains of the
Olympic range where elk aboundS knows that
the elk sheds its horns,' as they are COM
monty called, every year; that the new ant
lers grow rapidly, and are at first covered
with skin, on which is a soft growth of fur
called velvet While they are in their first
growth, and before the velvet is rubbed off,
the antlers are filed with blood vessels, and
are considered by old hunters as excellent eat
ing. Ny OLD friend, Peter Fischer, of Quill
cute, Clalam county, formerly a mighty
hunter Of elk, has often assured me that elk
horns i'll the velvet are just like marrow.
Other famous and successful elk hunters OF
DungeneSs, such as Weir, Sutherland, Merrill,
Sol Thompson and a score more, have assured
ME Of the same fact. Gradually the antlers
harden, commencing at the base, and when
sufficiently matured the velvet is rubbed of
by the animal, and the antlers, at first white,
soon change to the rich brown to which every
one is familiar who has seen pair of elk
horns. These antlers are seldom dropped at
the same time. The animal may knock off
one among brush and then move away TO an
other place and cast the other. These soon
get buried among the vegetation where they
have fallen and in short time disappear.
AS they are considered of little value it is but
seldom hunter will take the trouble to bring
one out of the woods when they may by
chance be observed.-Cor. Portland Ore

A New Appointment.

Il
The new Patent Commissioner, who
VIII assume the performance of his
duties as such on May /, is resident
OF Burlington, Iowa, and one of its lead
ing lawyers. He is native of the State
OF Ohio, born at Mount Vernon, Knox
County, on January Is, 1885; but was
under five years of age when taken to
Iowa, which has been his home ever
since. Mr.. Hall attended Knox College,
Illinois, for q time, and afterward
studied at Miami University, Ohio, OF
which he is a graduate From 1855 to
1857 he read law in his fathers Office
at Burlington. His name has been on
the roll of Iowa attorneys since 1857.
Mr.. Hall was member of the lower
house of the General Assembly of the
State of Iowa, in 1872-73. In January,
1882, he took his seat as State Senator,
beginning term of four years useful
public service in the capacity indicated.
He was successful candidate for the
Forty ninth Congress, and served full
term as member of the House of Rep
resentatives at Washington. His can
didacy for a renewal of the trust was
defeated in the election of last fall,
when Ex-Governor John 81. Gear, his
Republican opponent, won the con-
tested seat.
The Commissioner of Patents is
charged with the administration of the
Patent Laws, and supervises all matters
relating to the issue of letters patent for
new and useful discoveries, inventions
and improvements. He is aided in his
work by an Assistant Commissioner,
three Examiners-in-C Chief, an Examiner
of Interferences, an Examiner of Trade
Marks, and twenty-five principal Ex-
aminers. The duties of the office to
which Mr.. Hall has been appointed, to
succeed Colonel NJ. V. Montgomery,
resigned, are of IN increasingly arduous
and responsible character. With the
further development of the American
genius tor invention, together with the
accumulated results of its production,
it may soon be that existing arrange
ments at the Patent Office will be found
inadequate.

Pestered by the Penniless.

Hardly day passes that Mr. Jay Gould,
Mr.. Russell Sage, Mr.. Cyrus w. Field and
other men of influence in the financial world
are not pestered by persons with little money
who apply to them to be aided in making

sat in Mr.. Sage's office the other day when a

Mr.. Sage and the reporter by saying that he

are glad to work for two shillings day and
the profit they can make on the very small
amount of solder they are permitted to use.
The Persian seldom buys his jewelry ready
made; he orders it. When the various pieces
have been cast or cut out from the metal sup
piled by the customer, they are brought to
him for inspection ana carefully weighed.
Then the article is put together, either in the
customers own house and under his eye or
under the supervision of his servant. Then
it is again weighed, then chased and finished,
